The hot e-tron will feature a three electric motor set-up, with two motors on the rear axle. Audi wouldn’t be drawn on power output or when it was likely to appear, but the reasoning behind it is clear: with a 0-62mph time of 5.7secs, the e-tron isn’t that fast

At the same time Audi is also working on an entry-level e-tron. That one will use the regular e-tron’s twin motor set-up, but with reduced power outputs and potentially a smaller battery pack.

I could be very interested in an Etron with less power and corresponding smaller battery. Reduced charging times and A lower price point would be very welcome. If paired with lower power output, a smaller/lighter battery doesn’t necessarily mean less range. I’m happy with cars that have a 0-60 of around 9 seconds, so the 5.5 second time of the current Etron is way overkill for me.
